In this video, The Statler Brothers perform the hymn ‘Are You Washed In The Blood?’. “Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb? Are you washed in the blood, in the soul-cleansing blood of the lamb? Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?” The Statler Brothers put on a great performance and have such wonderful harmonies while they sing ‘Are You Washed In The Blood?’. This well-known hymn was written in 1878 by a Presbyterian minister from Pennsylvania named Elisha Hoffman. The song includes references to Revelation 7:14, such as "they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
